In July OF the same year the battery made the

was a dismal failure. From the moment OF arrival

unfair advantage.
In 1885 the organization scored three first prizes
at the Interstate drill at Lafayette. 1t met bat
terry OF ILLINOIS, ana led 1t In the score by 10 per
cent. In the State drill it was an easy winner OF
first place. The Calling gun section again came
to the front and made one Of the pretLteSt drills
ever seen, d1stanclng all competitors. With the
three prizes the battery returned home, where 1t
was welcomed by mass meeting OF citizens and a
most unique street parade
The organization Is now the pride Of the city and
State. The personnel of its membership is superior
to that OF most similar organizations, and it will
